Expanded Course Description
This course introduces students to the legal system of the United States. It begins by using a historical lens to present the development and structure of our legal system, as well as the methodologies used in it. After this foundation, the class will expose students to several substantive areas of law: constitutional law, criminal law and criminal procedure, torts and personal injury, contracts and business law, property law, and family law. The assignments draw on a variety of sources—including podcasts, videos, and news articles—that present real-life interactions and applications of law in current events.
